Why did the look of the toolbar change from Photoshop CS3 to CS4?

One of the nice visual features for Mac from Photoshop 7 to Photoshop CS3 was the "shiny" look of the toolbar that acquired the Aqua interface.  Now in CS4, the toolbar looks more like the Windows version (more bland).  I know that "how the program looks" does not change the way Photoshop is used, I just thought I'd ask in the forums why they would change the look of the toolbar for Mac that they've had for 7 years.

Good point.  I will be switching to Mac in the very near future, and one of the things I was looking forward to was the Aqua interface.  Its appearance is so much better than the Windows GUI.  I currently have an HP Pavilion Media Center TV PC desktop from late 2006 with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6300, with only 2GB of RAM and a 320 hard drive.  The graphics card is part of the motherboard.  I am not looking to upgrade to better specs after seeing what's out now.  Today, that would be considered low specs even for a low-priced laptop.  I payed $1400 for it, and I feel I got screwed.  So many cables, an outdated keyboard and mouse, and a cheap-looking monitor made me want to jump to the Mac starting in early 2008.  Thankfully, I waited and a new iMac that's twice as good came out!  I am currently planning to buy the $1699 27-inch iMac as soon as I figure out where I'm putting it and how I'm going to reconfigure everything (I also have a tablet, and it's going in another room so I have to get a desk that has the right setup as well).
Also, I have a tablet installed on my current computer.  What will I need to do to move it to the Mac?  Will I need to uninstall it from my current computer, or just leave it alone and install it on the Mac?
One more thing:
A guy at the Apple Store said I could run Photoshop from Windows on a Mac.  I'm assuming I would have to load the entire Windows OS, right?
Thanks.

  • Why did my upgrade to Maverick result in my not being able to access my Documents in the previous format? Why did I not have the option to change my 'filing' system to use the new 'Tags'? Had reinstall 10.8.5 to access my Documents

    Why did Maverick not enable me to access my Documents in the previous format (Grid) and when using the alternative I could not 'clik' to open them. The same applied when I tried to open documents from within my back up disc (LaCie). I had to reinstall 10.8.5 and back up from my LaCie (thankfully) to gain access to all my critical Documents? To deal with this I spent 3 and hlafg hours on telephone to Apple Support ( very helpful - but unable to resolve issues - then 3 hours in Apple Store (again very helpful but only able to assist by clearinng Maverick from my HD and reinstalling 10.8.5. Fortunately LaCie came to the resuce and I was able to back up Mac HD with all my documents but lost about one week of work....!!
    Why did I not have the option when upgrading to Maverick to select the new 'Tag" system which I did not want?

    10.8.5 is the lates ML edition.  I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup.  If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup.  You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files.  The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files.  That should fix the permissions issue.  I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

  • How do I change the look of the cropping tool

    How do I change the look of the cropping tool

    What do you mean, "change the look"?  Please be specific.
    What do you want the crop tool to "look" like?
    Yes, the crop tool is different than it used to be. But it works just as well as it always did. Instead of moving the crop over the timage, now move the image. Use the edge handles to adjust the crop size. Alternatively, set the crop tool to work in various ways by adjusting it in the control bar. (Size and Proportions, Rotate Crop, Straighten Image, Crop Options, etc.)
    Alternatively, you can set the Crop Tool to have "classic" behavior, also via the control bar.

    Why did apple screw up the discussion forum format?

    Hi,
    Apple in this case has to rely on what software is out there that can handle the amount of Traffic that these boards get.
    This is from the Brows Option the selecting People in the box
    Note the Number
    At the Launch of the new software this was at just over 2,250,000 and has now topped 2,300,000
    That is well over 50,000 people joining in just 2 weeks.
    Jive are the only real players in this market.
    To some extent the software is a one size fits all, much like the previous software was.
    We got used to the look and the Folder type layout of the Previous software.
    We ignored the foibles of where things were placed.
    Things are somewhat double edged in my view.
    I post mostly about iChat.
    I don't like that the Leopard and Snow Leopard forums that were are now "Refine the List"/Tag led searching to read specific threads. (not to mention that returning to "Dicussions" loses the "refinement").
    On the other hand those same threads and anwsers are now a lot more viewable in the OS forums than the subforums of before.
    As a regular poster I use a couple of Boiler plate things for a welcome message and my Signature.
    Some were made with TextExpander and included the HTML code to sttyle things slightly.
    These no longer work without going to the HTML editor.
    Posting link used to use the BBCodeXtra add-on to Firefox but this action is now included in the Regular and Advanced Editor. 
    That means I equipped myself and used things to get around shortcomings of the old software which is some cases I either don't need or need to learn the new way.
    I am sure the Style will morph as we go along.
    Of course some of this relies on what exactly you mean by:-

    Wow, one interface change in iCal and you Mac world falls apart? I have not even noticed the change to it over the other great features included in Lion. Not a hiccup, increased stability and speed on all my Macs, Loving Mission Control, iCloud is a great selling point and Mountain Lion, due out later in the year will yet again change the face of Computing forever. Windows is following along the same path, struggling to keep up (yes I run Windows as well - trecherous isn't it!), but yet we are all doomed because a handful of people don't like the leather bound look of Address Book which will probably change again in ML if a hack isn't written in the meantime. Petty arguement here. Just give feedback to Apple, I am sure it is on the top of their agenda.

  • Why did Apple remove many of my songs from the cloud?

    Why did Apple remove many of my songs from the cloud?

    Maybe they don't have the same taste in music as you
    Apple don't make or 'own' songs - other companies allow Apple to sell them. Sometimes these rights owners remove the songs from the store. Apple can't do much about that. You should make backups of any purchases, since Apple cannot guarantee they will be available in future.

  • Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History?

    Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History? This very annoying.

    Seriously - what could they have possibly been thinking? Mozilla, please tell us this was some kind of mistake. Accessing our bookmarks in FF-mobile is just plain bad as a user experience. And now without "Open In New Tab" we are supposed to drill down to our bookmarks for every tab we want to open? FF-mobile is almost useless without "Open In New Tab". Please restore "Open In New Tab" for bookmarks, thanks.

  • Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

    Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

    I can not read the minds of the Adobe engineers or Marketing people. Nesting a sequence is not much more trouble than applying an effect.
    If you are creating a PIP, then a nested sequence is probably your solution. If you are not nesting, scale and crop, then put a white matte under it.
    This is not a great place for asking questions that have no answers outside of internal Adobe decisions. This is, however, a great place to get workarounds.

  • Customize the look of the interface?

    Is there anyway to customize the look of the interface in FCP?
    In other words- change the color of the timeline background, video tracks, audio tracks, etc.
    I recall Avid gave me that option and it seems like it would be something Apple would allow- but I can not find any way to do it.

    Only by hacking the locked .nib files inside the application bundle.
    One false move and you are looking at a full reinstall. Not really worth it in my opinion.

  • Error when uploading "The bundle identifier cannot be changed from the previous version"

    I have an app on the App Store created with DPS, Single Edition a long time ago, shortly after DPS SE became available. Now I've updated the app, built a new version with DPS App Builder, created a new version of the app in iTunes Connect, and tried to upload the Distribution zip file using application loader. I'm getting 2 error messages:
    "This bundle is invalid. The bundle identifier cannot be changed from the previous version. If you want to change your bundle identifier, you will need to create a new application in iTunes Connect..."
    and
    "This app contains an embedded provisioning profile that is not associated with your account. Please use a provisioning profile associated with Team ID ..."
    I've done this several times before with other apps, and never got these errors before. Any ideas of what is going on?
    I'm able to view the developer ipa file just fine on my iPad.

    Nevermind. I left for lunch, returned, took a fresh look at it, and discovered that it was a stupid human error on my part.

    Hi,
    is it possible to customize the look of the Adobe Viewer? For instance: I would like to have smaller, shelf-like, thumbnails instead of the new big ones. I also want to change the background and add a logo or sth.
    Best

  • Names in Members field under the UNIX Attributes Tab have changed from standard format (i.e. John Doe) to the actual account name (jdoe)

    Hello,
    Names in Members field under the UNIX Attributes Tab have changed from standard format (i.e. John Doe) to the actual account name (jdoe). The only time this happens is if a domain account is deleted and the remnant of the account remains and has to be removed
    manually. However all of the accounts, with the exception of any new ones recently added, now show the account name only. Any ideas on what caused this and how to fix it?
    Thanks :)
